Description
20" by 29"Watercolour
I've always been fascinated by otters, and how playful they are, so I decided to paint one in action. Well, almost in action. In this image, the otter has paused in mid-slide down a slope to look around before it slides into the water under the ice.

Thanks! I love hearing how my work makes others feel since I'm too close to it, having taken the picture on which the painting was based, and knowing how I was feeling when i was painting it!

Thanks. Yes it did take a few months, but I wasn't working on it full time. It was cooling to work on it in the summer heat.

This is so detailed in amazingly minute shades and textures. Just amazing.
